How do I make multiple characters appear in a scene before a transition?

[maxene]

i want the characters to be on the scene already before the fade in so this is what i coded

so what i did there is that i placed my characters on certain spots then i added the transition code which kinda seems right since that is what i want. but i feel like there’s something wrong or missing with the code coz when i preview it, it doesn’t look like how i want it to be.

when the scene starts, there’s a second when all the characters are not visible then they suddenly pop up. then there’s the awkward fade in transition.

please helppp

I think you would use & instead of @

also, cut to zone 3 first then put transition
